Warrenty Question
My brother was just at the honda dealer to get his 16000KM service. He said
he just wanted the oil change, done, and none of the "visual inspections".
They said if he does not get the visual inspections done, it will void his
warrenty, and they will put that right in his file that his warrenty is
void. He said fine, I will go somewhere else that is cheaper and get it
done. They said that would also void his warrenty, that the work has to be
done at honda.
Is any of this true, or is the guy just trying to make more money
he just wanted the oil change, done, and none of the "visual inspections".

The guy is lying.
You no doubt have a national law regarding warranty that backs this up.
We do, in the US.
You should contact your national Honda distributor (in the US it's
American Honda Motor Manufacturing; not sure about where you are) and
report this.

well, he's not lying about the work having to be done, but he is lying about
it having to be done at the dealer.

Re: Warrenty Question
So if I don't get a "visual inspection" of my breaks at 16000KM my warrenty
is void?

All you need to do is document what you did. Make your own check list and

All you need to do is document what you did. Make your own check list and

Re: Warrenty Question
Yes thats what I thought, but they said if its not a Honda tech ( usually a
16 year old with no real training) working on your car, they could mess
something up and cause more problems. So you have to stay away from
journeymen mechanics who don't know what they are doing, and stick to their
"Honda Techs".
Man honda service sucks.
